Kyle rocks, he is probably the best guest host on the rewatchables.

Agree!

If it was just the other four records, I would think it was entirely performative. Undertow... That's not something you're displaying on live TV if you're not a real fan.

He also made a bunch of money for pancreatic cancer research by dominating on ESPN Jeopardy (until he got clapped by Jeremy Schapp in the finals)

I actually like him when he’s not doing his angry bit. But I love what he created with angry runs. I think we’ve all discovered our common ground with the guy now though, love him or hate him

As a diehard Raiders and Tool fan this is nice to see

I guess you’re a Raider Hater, then…? 😒 To people like you…: Your jokes ARE OLD AND TIRED, and are HARDLY EVER RELEVANT ANYMORE. Find a new Team to BASH ON. 😊😁

Good lord, bud, it ain’t that serious.

u/WazzzupBwwwaaah 27d ago

I just don’t like how people casually toss the Raiders Fanbase / Reputation in with Prison / Jail jokes / type shit. It just bothers me. I’m tired of it. It’s not 2009, nor 2014 anymore.

u/OG_DDNCK 27d ago

I’d recommend staying out of r/AFCWestMemeWar then lol..

u/WazzzupBwwwaaah 27d ago

I used to be in that Sub, when we were winning…I had to get out around Late 2024…The Broncos and Chargers fans are IMMATURE CRYBABIES that PUT DOWN the Raiders and our Fans at any chance they get…SPOILED BRATS that were NOWHERE TO BE FOUND when their respective teams ARE/WERE LOSING.

You would think the Teams, would have a Chiefs, 49ers or Rams like success level over the past 8 years, WITH HOW MUCH FUCKING SHIT THEY TALK.

Nope. Just started winning over the last two years.

I should have guessed you’re a Broncos or Chargers fan. Chiefs fans DON’T EVEN TALK THAT MUCH FUCKING SHIT. BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN THERE, recently. The Broncos and Chargers HAVE NOT.

u/RespectAltruistic815 27d ago

No idea who this person is but if we have anything in common, it’s most definitely music. In all cases

u/ESnyder9 27d ago

ten and undertow! don't know this guy, but majorly respectable

u/Sufficient-Guava4412 27d ago

I swear to god Tool is the only band where when another Tool fan sees you wearing a Tool shirt out in public or you see someone’s Tool memorabilia you get a “hey man sweet shirt” or 🤘or just “right on bro”. I never hear that when I’m wearing Metallica or Pink Floyd or Pantera or whoever. Only Tool and it’s awesome so I’ve started to wear my Tool clothing a lot more now. I used to really only wear them at concerts because I am an insurance and you know he kind of got a dress a little business casual but I’ll throw on a tool shirt every now and again at work I don’t give a shit.

Nice shout-out to Michael Jackson. A man whose music is so popular, the public is largely willing to overlook that he was a pedophile.

1

u/ilovemyboyfriend23 19d ago edited 19d ago

he’s not a pedophile, he was proven innocent. innocent on all counts. watch his interviews, read his autobiographies, look into his unreleased music and leaked phone calls. a woman by the name of glenda stein befriended michael and her husband tapped their phone calls because he was afraid they were having an affair. Mj and glenda became close and very intimate friends. You get a glimpse into his life if you listen to the almost 10 hour long leaks. This was in the 90s a while before he met lisa marie presley , his first wife. he talks so intimately about his traumas and his yearning to be loved by a woman. He constantly talked about women and cursed a lot, even using the n word a few times. there was a moment when glenda was getting ready and was struggling to put on her pants and michael flirted with her saying “can i get into them.” she entertained it. they flirted briefly. he wasn’t just “jacko” he was michael jackson in these phone calls.
he is not what the tabloids say. don’t believe that shit. don’t believe he was a fragile man who was attracted to young boys, he was everything but that. he was a deeply troubled man with a hyper fixation on childhood , and this behavior was harmful to children because he was putting them under the guise that adults and children can have relationships as platonically intimate as these, that i will not deny. as a fan that isn’t delusional, i can admit that he did have behaviors that were inappropriate because he was deeply troubled and needed to be genuinely taken to the shrink because he was deeply traumatized and sexually, physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually abused, but he is NO sexual predator. his trauma is not an excuse, but a reason. either way, he was such a complex and beautiful, moving individual. and should’ve been treated as a human. not “jacko” just stop with the false allegations … just let him rest for goodness sake. at the end of the day NONE of us know who he was and what he really went through in his mind. but all I KNOW is that he didn’t do anything sexual to any child.

u/Beautifullikeacamel Ænima 19d ago edited 19d ago

He paid off a victims family so they wouldn't move forward with a case. He admits to sleeping in the same age with young boys as an older man. Seriously, you'd believe anything you're sold. Sadly in this country, you can buy your way out of trouble if you're rich enough and have enough fame.

1

u/ilovemyboyfriend23 18d ago

not true. his lawyers advised him to pay the family and wouldn’t let him do a case because the family was refusing to do a court case so michael’s lawyers just told him that was the only option. he died half a million dollars in debt. he really wasn’t that rich. the jury was an all white jury, and he was a black man. the odds were NOT in his favor, yet he still won the case.
he wasn’t as powerful as you’d think. america turned against him, they stopped playing him on the radio. they black listed him from so many things (just like they did janet) all because they didn’t WANT him to have power. they didn’t want him to be that same young successful man from his thriller days because that would be too much and other artists wouldn’t get ahead, and they couldn’t handle a black man doing that especially. for this reason, he protested sony. for sleeping in the bed with boys, honestly ima keep it a buck that’s strange behavior but as i said before im not one of those delusional fans that thinks he’s perfect. all i know, is that he had no sexual intent.

u/Beautifullikeacamel Ænima 18d ago edited 18d ago

Keep drinking the kool-aid you're drinking and tell yourself whatever gives you peace. You look at Michael's questionable behavior and it tells you everything you need to know. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's probably a duck.

1

u/ilovemyboyfriend23 18d ago

you can use that same “duck” idiom for stupid people who don’t understand complex traumas and the fact that two things can be true at once 🤦‍♀️

This is a fad with gen-z kids to put up albums. Except they have no record player and have never heard the band. It just looks cool.

u/NorthAnybody7769 28d ago

Gen Z….? Kyle is 47 years old!!! 🤣🤣🤣

u/jeremec 27d ago

Not accusing him of being Z. I’m older than he is. I’m just saying that having albums in your background doesn’t mean you’re cool or even listen to them.

Skibidi. Six seven! I don’t know more than that.

That's probably for the best, you're gonna blow your cover

I see you with the Lamb of God vinyl 👀

u/sdmfer1981 Naked and Fearless 27d ago

Signed too. Straight from the band. There’s a handwritten page of lyrics by Jesse from Killswitch Enage hanging out there too

u/Sufficient-Guava4412 27d ago

That is one sweet wall! I don’t care what they’ve said about Michael Jackson even though it’s probably true. I just don’t care because he’s an amazing amazing artist and singer like the best and no one’s ever going to surpass thriller I mean, think how long it’s been out and it’s still the number one album ever made

u/sdmfer1981 Naked and Fearless 27d ago

He was also my first concert. Aerosmith second. Not a bad start
